Chapter 62: Suicide by Jumping into the River?
He Zao looked at him with wide eyes.
The young man only felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger, touched his nose, and a faint flush appeared at the root of his ears, but he still obediently went to pick the grass and weave it.
Because walking in the mountains, straw sandals are more suitable, and Uncle Zhong taught him when he taught him to hunt before, but he is used to being pampered and has never worn them himself.
His fingers were slender and quickly interspersed in the grass, which was very pleasing to the eye.
He Zao secretly thought that such a pair of well-jointed hands would be the most suitable pianist in modern times.
Grass is not like ordinary grass, there is a certain toughness, not soft enough, but also because of this hardness and toughness can be used as straw sandals, He Zao put on it and walked for a while, I felt a little abrasive feet.
The straw sandals in the countryside are dried to a withered yellow color to enhance the toughness, and then kneaded vigorously to make it softer.
"Can you go?" The boy glanced at the green straw sandals.
He Zao nodded and smiled: "Zhonghe, it's just right, Brother Ache, your skills are good." ”
After getting along a few times, now she has no pressure to call the other party's brother.
The boy looked at the sky, it was already late today, so he didn't plan to take her too deeply, so after thinking about it, he took her to the place he had found last time.
Walking on the uneven mountainous terrain, he walked on the flat ground, and the speed was fast, and He Zao could keep up at first, but later he became out of breath.
The young man was still very personable, squatting down and taking the initiative to carry He Zao.
It surprised and delighted the latter.
Tsk, this boy is still very good!
She pretended not to see the young man's red ears, and only smiled secretly.
Although the boy was thin and long, his figure was still very material, and lying on his back was not very broad, He Zao felt more secure than he imagined.
When he saw the wolfberry garden, he had already had star eyes.
A few days ago, she thought that she could go into the mountains to pick some wolfberries to make wine, and this was a big surprise immediately.
She happily jumped off his back, a little at a loss: "Oh, this old wolfberry, I didn't take a basket, a cloth bag or anything, why do you pinch it back?" ”
Seeing that she really liked it, Ah Che also showed a happy smile.
The stems of the wolfberry are a bit similar to the chili pepper, with pointed leaves and thin stems, because they are wild, they are not as thick as they are cultivated, only more than two feet tall, and the branches are full of dense red fruits.
From a distance, the little red revealed in the cyan is very gratifying.
However, the goji berries on this mountain are actually varieties that ripen in autumn.
Now in the middle of summer, most of them are not fully ripe.
He took a look at the left and right, and pulled the vines to try to weave the grass basket, and saw that the four treasures were woven a lot on weekdays, thinking that it was very simple, but in fact, if you want to weave it airtightly, it is difficult to put down the wolfberry so tightly.
It was Ah Che who came to help to succeed.
pinched half of the basket, and He Zao stopped unsatisfied.
Now the wolfberry is enough, and the rest will be pinched when it is fully ripe.
Goji berries have not received much attention in this era, at most they are a condiment, but in later generations, they are a holy product of health and beauty, whether it is soup or tea.
He Zao generously gave the boy a small half, and told him the method carefully: "When you stew chicken or stir-fry, put a few in it, and make more tea on weekdays, if you have red dates, it will be better to soak and drink!" ”
The boy raised his eyebrows and glanced at her quietly.
He Zao really understood what he meant, and after thinking about it again, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Goji berry and jujube tea seems to be a qi and blood nourishment, and it doesn't seem right to let a big man drink these things.
She closed her mouth and smiled with a small face: "Can't we go inside?" ”
The young man shook his head: "It's late, I'll send you back." I'll take you in another day. ”
He Zao smiled like a flower: "Middle, middle, it's too troublesome Brother Ache." ”
Goji Berry He did not bring it back, but put it to Ah Che, when he went back, Ah Che hunted two colorful pheasants, and generously gave He Zao one.
He thought about it early and didn't refuse.
The boy was very gentlemanly, and sent her all the way to the reservoir and watched her go down the mountain safely before going back.
And He had forgotten the unpleasantness of Shicai early on, and went home with a pheasant humming an out-of-tune tune, but he didn't know that the He family was already in an uproar at this time.
She doesn't like Chen, and she doesn't want to talk to her much in private, but she is very protective of her in front of outsiders, not only because this era pays too much attention to filial piety, but also because of their consideration for the Four Treasures and the Seven Treasures. She cares about them, and she has to consider their feelings.
She is a nine-year-old girl, and the possibility of wanting to live alone from the He family is zero, not to mention the household registration problem, even Lu Yin is not something that her little girl can get.
In ancient times, it was basically difficult to move an inch without a guide.
What's more, a little girl like her really ran away from home, without the protection of her elders and without the followers of her family, no matter how capable she is, she can't get rid of the fate of being trafficked.
You know, it was legal to buy and sell human beings in ancient times! There are those who buy and sell through transaction procedures, and there are also all kinds of kidnappers who do not see the light in private, stealing, looting and selling.
To sum up, He Zao never thought of leaving the He family.
All she can do is to try her best to change He Laosan and the Chen family, if these two people really can't stand up, they still regard them as tools to curry favor with their elders, and hurt them with family affection again and again, then she has to start from Sibao.
Divide the family first, and then let Sibao go to study, he can get a fame, even if it is just a showman, in this era of imperial examinations, no matter how young he is, he can also represent He Laosan and Chen, and no one will ignore his opinion. He Laosan and Chen's will only be an ornament.
However, that was too far away, and she should settle today's matter first.
After going down the mountain, He Zao was thinking about countermeasures, and found that today's Lujia Village was particularly lively, on the bank of the river at the entrance of the village, there were many adults standing, one by one holding a long pole to fish for something in the water, and the women also gathered together, whispering something, and in the distance, she could hear someone calling her name.
She blinked, not knowing what was going on.
When he saw Qibao in the crowd howling and crying, Chen kneeling on the ground and holding something, He Laosan squatting with his head on the side, and He Chun'er and Sibao shouting her name in a hoarse voice, He Zao finally felt that something was wrong.
It happened that Da Yang took a long bamboo pole and trotted over here, and He Zao hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Da Yang, what's wrong?" What are you doing? ”
Da Yang looked at her in a daze, as if he had seen a ghost, and then, he grabbed He Zao's arm, for fear that she would run away if she slowed down, turned his head and shouted ecstatically: "Third uncle and third aunt, Zao'er is here, Zao'er is not dead, Zao'er is here!" ”
His voice was hoarse, but it was powerful, and it spread far away.
Suddenly, the attention of everyone around was attracted.
They all stared at He Zao blankly, silent for a moment, a sharp voice "wow" cried out, stumbled towards He Zao's side, probably because of weak legs, ran a few steps and fell, the people in front of them helped to help her up, and comforted: "Her third aunt, don't panic, it's not a good morning!" ”
Chen's hair was scattered, her clothes were full of dust, and she was embarrassed, but when she ran to He Zao, her eyes, which had always been numb and silent, were unusually bright, as if they were about to burn, she looked her up and down, and then threw the things in her hand, and suddenly hugged her into her arms, and cried: "Morning, my morning!" My morning, morning, morning, ......"
Her strength was so great that she was almost out of breath when she hugged Hezao.
But He Zao could feel the heart-rending emotion in her body, and her body stiffened, but she still didn't move.
He Laosan and Sibao also rushed over.
"Child, mother, baby, this is not good, don't cry anymore, be careful of hurting your body!" He Laosan was also very excited when he saw He Zao, his eyes were red, and he first turned around and wiped his face before saying to Chen.
Chen only hugged He Zao and didn't let go.
He Zao suddenly smelled a smell of blood on the placket of the other party's clothes, and couldn't help but be startled, and raised his head: "Mother, are you bleeding?" ”
Chen burst into tears, hugged her and didn't speak.
It was He Chun'er who sobbed softly: "Early, my mother thought you had jumped into the river, so I vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted......"
He Zao was extremely surprised and jumped into the river, where did this start!
Could it be that the He family thought she had committed suicide, so they started such a big battle?
He Laosan also had red eyes: "Zao'er, you baby, why did you drop your shoes into the river, ah?" The family couldn't find you, they only saw your shoes, and they thought you were ......" His voice became a little choked again: "Why are you so stupid, why did you throw away your good shoes, and scared me and your mother to death......"
He Zao saw that the thing that was tightly held in Chen's arms and thrown away just now was her pair of shoes!
